Hasbro gets a head-ache. Mr. & Mrs is out. But Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head will remain.
Hasbro is officially renaming the MR. POTATO HEAD brand to POTATO HEAD to better reflect the full line. But rest assured, the iconic MR. and MRS. POTATO HEAD characters aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. and MRS. POTATO HEAD.
Launching this Fall, the CREATE YOUR POTATO HEAD FAMILY is a celebration of the many faces of families allowing kids to imagine and create their own Potato Head family with 2 large potato bodies, 1 small potato body, and 42 accessories. The possibilities to create your own families are endless with mixing and mashing all the parts and pieces.
CREATE YOUR POTATO HEAD FAMILY is compatible with most standard Potato Head offerings and is a great addition to your Potato Head collection for kids ages 2 and up.
Potato Head has provided endless creative possibilities to our preschoolers for almost 70 years and will continue to do so with the new CREATE YOUR POTATO HEAD FAMILY.
Created in the mid-50s, Mr. Potato Head sold 1 million figures the very first year. The first price was 98 cents. “He” was the very first toy to be advertised on television. Originally the items were parts – accessories – to be put onto REAL potatoes. Mrs. Potato Head joined “Mr.” a few years later.
In 2000, Mr. Potato Head was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame.

I truly do not see an issue here. There are many single parent families. There are also many same sex couples with kids. Some grandparents raise their grandchildren. Some dads have ponytails, and some moms have super short hair. My dad never had a mustache. Let kids create their families with many options for parts without stereotypes. That’s not “woke”, that’s just reality.
Won’t be buying any more Potato Head toys. Too bad because they were really fun and creative. Sadly they too have fallen victim to the woke movement.
